The Telltales
 

Icebergs

We’re all of us just icebergs
Adrift upon the sea
A stretch of frigid water
Keeps you from me

I see the point that marks you
But there’s so much more beneath
The frozen depth of who you are
Is something I’ll never reach

May the ocean that parts us
Steer us from here
Steer us to a warmer place
Where ice will melt without a trace
Waters blend and parts embrace like one

Waves they crash around me
I see they hit you too
Once a sea bird touched me
Then between us flew

I begged it take a message
Some words to give you strength
But it left before I passed them on
The words were never sent

May the ocean that parts us
Steer us from here
Steer us to a warmer place
Where ice will melt without a trace
Waters blend and parts embrace

At last we’ll come
To know the other one
We’ll crack and thaw and run

May the ocean that parts us
Steer us from here
Steer us to a warmer place
Where ice will melt without a trace
Waters blend and parts embrace like one
